Garmin unveiled yesterday at Heli-Expo 2010 the G500H avionics system, specifically for the VFR Part 27 helicopter market.

Jim Alpiser, Garmin’s director of aviation aftermarket sales, said the impetus for Garmin’s entry to the helicopter market was essentially one of safety. “We saw a need to better serve, based on news about helicopter accidents, particularly those involving controlled flight into terrain [CFIT]. The time has become right for us to ask ‘What’s that need that we can serve?’”
